Chapter 104: Dali visits Zhong Tingzi, the impatient King Qin
Simultaneously.
Chengwu Pass, the palace of King Zhou.
In the courtyard, King Zhou, who had also received the news of King Jin's defeat in his first battle, frowned.
He glanced sideways at someone.
He said in a deep voice: "Prince Jin lost the first battle, and his morale has plummeted. I'm afraid that Chongli Prefecture will not be taken down in a short time."
"This Ninghe"
The man in a Confucian robe narrowed his eyes upon hearing this and asked King Zhou, "Whose disciple are you really?"
"Ah."
King Zhou put his hands behind his back.
He nodded and said, "This matter is not a secret."
"Is that really the case?" The man in Confucian robe frowned upon seeing this. Anyone who had anything to do with that person was not a simple person.
So was Xu Chu, so was Huo Qubing.
I guess Ning He is the same.
"In this case, the plan will have to be postponed for a while." The man in the Confucian robe said, and he couldn't help but sighed and looked at King Zhou and said, "What do you think, Your Majesty?"
"how?"
King Zhou raised his eyebrows after hearing this.
A hint of unknown meaning flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Although Ning He is the disciple of that person and is well versed in strategy, she is just a young girl after all, and her martial arts are only at the Vajra Realm. If she dies, Chongli Mansion will fall without a fight, and there will be no obstacles to Prince Jin's journey north. Why not give it a try?"
"Your Majesty is planning to take action?"
"It's not me, but you."
"Exit?"
The man in the Confucian robe couldn't help but smile when he heard this.
He shook his head and said, "Don't be ridiculous, Your Majesty. I cannot bear the anger of that person."
"Ah"
King Zhou sneered: "You said you couldn't bear the wrath of that person, but you spread the news about Ning He's relationship with that person. You have made a good plan."
"If Ning He dies, do you think you can get away with it?" When King Zhou said this, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes and he looked over coldly.
No one had discussed this matter with him.
Everything was done by the former on his own initiative.
If it weren't for his subordinates who accidentally saw it, he would probably still be kept in the dark.
The man in Confucian robe saw that the matter was exposed.
But he was not panicked, instead he raised his eyes and said slowly: "Your Majesty, are you trying to distance yourself from the matter by saying this?"
Seeing that King Zhou said nothing, the man in Confucian robes smiled.
Then he asked, "Or is it that the prince is really afraid of that person, afraid that Ning He will really lose his life and that person will take his anger out on him?"
Say it.
Without waiting for King Zhou to speak.
The man in the Confucian robe continued, "Yes, with that person's strength, who in the world would not be afraid of him? Even our emperor is deeply afraid of him. Your Highness is afraid of him like a tiger, so he won't lose face."
Having said this, the man paused.
After looking at King Zhou meaningfully.
Then he said, "However, if the prince wants to achieve great things, he will have to confront that person one day. Since he will confront him, why not make plans as soon as possible and cut off his arms."
"What do you think, my lord?"
After the man in the Confucian robe finished speaking, he stopped talking.
Just as he looked at King Zhou with an ugly expression, there was always a smile on his lips.
It's like a spring breeze.
This person.
His name is Zhong Tingzi, and he is thirty years old.
He was the Minister of War of the Dali Dynasty, responsible for liaison with the King of Zhou.
Although his official position is not high.
Logically speaking, the Dali Dynasty should not have sent only a minister of the Ministry of War to negotiate with the King of Zhou.
But Zhong Tingzi is this person.
In addition to being the Minister of War in the Dali Dynasty, he also had another identity: a disciple of the great Confucian scholar Dong Zhongxian.
Strangely enough, Zhong Tingzi was a Confucian disciple.
What he learned mostly were the theories of military strategy and diplomacy, but he was not very proficient in Confucianism.
This is also one of the reasons why a Confucian disciple would work in the Ministry of War.
Of course.
It was not enough for Zhong Tingzi to serve in the Ministry of War simply because of his Confucian identity.
The most important thing is his father.
He was the Marquis Dingwu of the Dali Dynasty, holding a high position and great power.
In the courtyard, as Zhong Tingzi waited quietly, King Zhou was silent for about an incense stick of time, then snorted softly, seeing the former's rather disappointed look.
He said coldly: "This matter has nothing to do with this king."
Say it.
King Zhou left with a wave of his sleeves, saying indifferently, "Come here, send the guest away."
"Ugh"
Zhong Tingzi saw this.
He sighed softly, shook his head and murmured, "The power of that person is truly amazing."
Having said that, he turned around and left.
______
Xingqing Mansion.
The residence of Prince Wu.
The King of Wu, who also learned the news, had a completely different reaction from the King of Zhou.
On the other hand, King Zhou was solemn.
At this moment, the King of Wu sneered continuously.
"My second brother is really old. He can't even deal with a yellow-haired girl." King Wu said, and sneered again, saying disdainfully: "With this little ability, he dares to rebel?"
His relationship with King Jin is not bad.
But it’s definitely not good.
After all, Prince Jin is very arrogant.
The King of Jin at that time was kind to the late emperor and Jiang Xuan.
To other vassal kings, and even dukes and generals.
They all looked disdainful.
Especially to him, when Da Wu Chao was imprisoned, he was scolded a lot.
Even once.
They directly seized his military power and took away all his troops. Although they eventually returned the troops, he still held a grudge against them and cannot forget it to this day.
After a sneer.
The King of Wu looked at the person in front of him, frowned and asked, "What did the King of Qin say?"
"Go back to your lord."
"The King of Qin is currently still watching the current situation of the Dawu Dynasty and has no plans to start a rebellion. However, in the opinion of his subordinates, he is likely to be unable to hold back." The person in front of the King of Wu reported.
"Can't you bear it anymore?"
After hearing this, King Wu frowned even more.
He said in a deep voice: "This is not a good thing. If he can't help but start a rebellion, I will have to take action. Judging from the current situation, the one who takes action first will not have a good ending."
"Don't you see that the once mighty King Jin can't even take Chongli Prefecture? Our eldest niece is not a good person either." King Wu said, and then ordered her: "When you go back, analyze the situation for King Qin and ask him to hold back and not act impulsively."
This person was his hidden man planted under the command of King Qin.
As a counselor.
Including this year, I have followed the King of Qin for nearly seven years, although he has not been given an important position.
But the King of Qin also trusted him very much.
"Here."
After receiving his order.
The King of Wu waved his hand and said, "You can go back now."
After saying this, the King of Wu frowned again.
He looked at the butler beside him and asked, "Is there any action from the White Lotus Sect?"
Mention the White Lotus Sect.
King Wu's expression also turned a little ugly as he thought of what happened a few days ago.
A hint of coldness flashed across his eyes.
"Go back to your lord."
Upon hearing this, the housekeeper replied respectfully, "At present, there is nothing unusual about the White Lotus Sect. They are very well behaved. However, it is said that the day before yesterday, Yang Huansheng, one of the three elders of the White Lotus Sect, encountered Yu Qingzhi, the Great Kaiyang Hand, who should have died eight years ago, while chasing the heir of the Poison King Valley."
